Recently, Jamie Wilkey, PharmD, RPh, CEO of Arches Health, LLC, contacted me. She trains PharmDs to leverage expertise in pharmacogenomics to consult in various areas of healthcare. We talked about how pharmacists can bring a wealth of knowledge, including pharmacogenomics, to work in a variety of roles in the pharmaceutical industry.
